Chrome doesn’t stack or tile in Windows 7

Windows 7 has two features called

  • Show windows side by side
  • Show windows stacked

These can be reached by right-clicking the task-bar.

Personally, I don’t really have a need for it, but as it’s there, I decided to have a go at it.

So I opened some applications. Well, actually a few more than some: 35 to be exact. Unfair on Windows really, but it behaves remarkably well. With so many windows to tile or stack, the frames get of course very small, and they start overlapping. Which is curious, as they have not yet reached their resize limits!??!

Of course, there’s also apps that don’t resize so far down when done manually. Like Yahoo Messenger for example. As is to be expected, they don’t tile or stack well (as they refuse to get that small).

But what about Google Chrome? Manually it can be resized to any level; but when tiles or stacked, it doesn’t play ball. It refuses to budge even by 1 pixel. It simply remains sitting there…..

Now why would that be? Anyone?
